Hello,
I am testing out a new CMS that our organization is considering purchasing. At the moment I am testing its capability of supporting the markup of complex tables. Although it allows me to identify which cells are header cells, and it does provide a means for me to provide an ID attribute, it does not provide the means of indicating the headers attribute (as this example illustrates<http://usability.com.au/2005/06/accessible-data-tables-2005/#id>;).

Is there another means of creating the association between headers and columns in complex tables without using the "headers=" attribute?

Thanks
